The Little 500 men's race is Saturday, but don't remind the men's track team of that.

"This Saturday will be a good test for the team," third-year coach Marshall Goss said.

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Thursday, April 19,2001 12:36 a.m.

Sophomore Jenn Wangerin wouldn't have believed it if someone told her a year ago that she would be riding for the Roadrunners in the 2001 women's Little 500. A year ago, she had no idea what the Little 500 was. "Last year I read about the Cutters winning, and I think that was the first time I ever heard about the race," Wangerin said. "I'm from Dyer, Ind., and my coach is from Munster (Ind.), so the local paper had a story about that, too. But that was it."
